If you are self-motivated, the University of Phoenix online is a great way to finish up your education. Classes are five weeks long so the pace really moves quickly. Most students take one class at a time with a week break in between each class. During my time at UoP, I doubled up on classes, staggering them so I did not have the final weeks at the same time.
One caution however is that UoP utilizes a team concept that comprises about 30% of your grade. In many classes, I found that some members were more than willing to sit back and let others do all the work. As there is only one grade given for team projects regardless of who does what, that can be frustrating.
UoP does have ground campuses in many cities across the country and the cost is much lower than their online classes. If you are able to attend a ground campus, you might consider doing so in order to save money.
